The
Zorgvliet Wine Estate, located in the breathtakingly beautiful Banhoek Valley outside
Stellenbosch, is a working wine farm with luxury accommodation facilities and restaurants. Zorgvliet is a family concern driven by the personal commitment and passion of the vd Merwe family.
The
Zorgvliet Wines Stellenbosch wine-making philosophy is driven by Stephan vd Merwe based on human intervention assisted by the extraordinary terroir of the Banghoek. As a relatively young wine farm, Stephan and his team were fortunate in that they could plant vines associated with the preferences of specific wine lovers. These include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Semillon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The viticulture practices enhance the quality of the grapes and with the state of the art cellar facilities, the team can produce ‘special wines for special people’.
The estate offers a selection of fine wines. Zorgvliet currently produces wine under four distinctive labels; Zorgvliet Richelle is the flagship Bordeaux blend, the Zorgvliet range represents the estate's premier products, Silver Myn is a portfolio of unique wines including Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Semillon, and Pinot Noir whilst Le Pommier offers exciting ‘drink me now’ wines.
Zorgvliet wines have received various awards over the past three years and are highly rated in the 2007 Platter wine guide. Wines have been rated 4 star or better.
